This is an opportunity to play on the 27-hole course with
green fees reduced to 41 euro for guests.

There will be interesting excursions on non-golfing days
and for non-golfers, including a guided tour of the historic centre of
Malaga, followed by dinner at the Parador at Malaga Gibralfaro, and an
excursion to the mountain town of Ronda.

As the Parador is only a short taxi journey from the
airport there are alternative fllights from Ireland and the UK if people
prefer to fly at different times or would like to extend the holiday and
fly on other days.

We
travelled from El Saler to Malaga via the
new Parador at Lorca, Granada and Nerja. Now if you want a
real touch of Heaven, stay at Lorca. From the moment you walk
through the front door the only word on your lips is WOW! After
many millions of Euros having been spent on it, this hotel comes
very highly recommended. The views from the bedroom windows are
stunning, and as you dine you can survey the illuminated Jewish
and Muslim Ruins excavated and preserved in the building of this magnificent hotel.

Our
stop over at both Granada and Nerja were also breath taking
experiences, with the hospitality of the staff and gourmet food
to die for. As a golfer, my favourite is Malaga. So easy to get to, the hotel is just minutes from the airport, and the
moment you check in you're in Golfers Paradise!

We shall be talking about this golfing holiday for
some time to come.

WE CAN ARRANGE GOLFING HOLIDAYS IN PARADORES FOR INDIVIDUALS OR
GROUPS AT THE BEST POSSIBLE RATES

There were golf competitions included in the April
holiday at Club Real de San Sebastian and at Santa Marina at San
Vicente de la Barquera in Cantabria,
hosted, as always, by "Bachelor" Con Cluskey, and if possible we will also include golf in
one of the October holidays.

Santa Marina
where Seve Ballesteros learnt to play.

Since 2005 I have organised the golf
competitions on Lorna's Parador holidays. We spent a week in May
in Galicia in North West Spain, staying in the Paradores at
Baiona and Santiago and played golf at Ria de Vigo, a
spectacular 18 hole course overlooking the city and bay of Vigo

Our group in April
2010 stayed at
the Parador at AIGUABLAVA and played 18 holes at PLATJA
DE PALS. Congratulations to Veronica O'Shea who won the
competition and received wine from Marques de Caceres
and smoked salmon from the Connemara Smokehouse.

Another holiday included
golf in May 2011, staying at Hotel Fuerte
Conil on the Cadiz coast, and at the Paradores at Ronda
and Malaga Golf. The competitions were held at
Montanmedio (Cadiz) and at Malaga Golf. Congratulations
to Anne Fagan who won the competitions

So That's how you swing a
club!

Ready for hours of
pleasure in the sunshine.

Keep your head down for a
tricky pitch!

A Happy Three Ball on
the 2nd Hole

Stop and Smell The
Roses!

Happy to be here on the

On previous holidays we
played

At PGA Catalonia, Emporda and Platja de
Pals whilst staying at the Paradores at Aiguablava and Cardona

At Montecastillo, Montenmedio, Baveira
and Malaga Golf in Andalucia

At El Saler, Oliva Nova and La Sella
between Valencia and Alicante. The Parador at El Saler has been
completely refurbished and the course is now in peak condition
so we intend to
include El Saler in our holiday early in 2014.

Our golf competitions are sponsored by
Marques de Caceres bodegas in La Rioja and the Connemara
Smokehouse, so prizes of wine and smoked salmon are delivered to
you so there are no heavy prizes to carry home.

Spain is famed equally for
its castles and its golf courses and with the Paradors network,
both can be combined.

Two of the contemporary Paradors have
fine golf courses in their grounds - the 27 hole course at El Saler is world-renowned and Malaga Golf is surrounded by one of
the first courses created in Andalusia, now boasting 27 holes.
Furnished with an excellent 19th hole and with your room just
off the fairway, you are guaranteed to be the first or last off
the tee. The Parador de Malaga Golf is also only 3km from the
airport !

Whether you are a beginner looking to
learn the mysterious art of golf or an old hand looking to enjoy
two of Spain's finest courses, both Paradors can offer you
wonderful golfing experiences at superb prices.

We are able to pre-book your tee-off
time at the Paradors’ own two courses but we do recommend
booking well in advance since both are popular.

GOLFING HOLIDAYS WHICH ARE ALSO RELAXING BREAKS FOR
NON-GOLFERS - ideal for people who would like to stay in
Paradores with a group but do not want to do too much traveling.
We arrange interesting optional excursions for non-golfers.

For golfers there are 2 competitions on each holiday
organised by Con Cluskey of "The Bachelors" who has been
involved in the celebrity and charity golf circuits for many
years.

All green fees, buggies or trolleys are included

***Prizes from Marques de Caceres and the Connemara
Smokehouse***

GOLFING HOLIDAYS WITH A DIFFERENCE. GOLF IS TO BE
ENJOYED................... AND WE CERTAINLY ENJOY IT!!

Our escorted tours are designed to introduce people to the
areas of Spain and Portugal away from the overcrowded and
overpriced resorts. They particularly appeal to those who say
that they would like to visit the more remote areas but do not
want to drive themselves, or go on a conventional coach tour, so
we have tried to fill the gap by organising tours staying in
Paradores and other hotels in "Real Spain" .We aim to make the
tours as flexible as possible, giving plenty of free time to
enjoy the Paradores in which we stay.

Since 2005 we have included golf on some of our tours.
These are very different from the usual golfing holidays as golf
is combined with the theme of our tours, visiting cities,
National Parks etc and offering the unique experience of staying
in Paradores in some of the most scenic and unspoilt areas of
Spain.

We started our tours in 2002 and now have many regular
people travelling with us, some have been four and five times,
so we are hoping that the idea of including golf 2 or 3 times a
year will appeal to people who would enjoy an
interesting holiday with some fun golf attached. We are so
fortunate to have Con Cluskey organising the competitions. When
he is not singing with "The Bachelors" he is very involved in
the celebrity charity golf circuit, so is the ideal person to
ensure that everything runs smoothly. Although we play at some
of the finest courses in Spain, the golf is not taken too
seriously. However the prizes are worth playing for as they are
presented by Marques de Caceres bodegas in Rioja and the
Connemara Smokehouse.

There are always plenty of alternatives for non golfers,
and all our holidays can be extended if people wish to stay for
a few extra days.

***If a group of 8 or more golfers book together the lead
person would have free green fees and buggies + 5% discount on
the accommodation***

Two Paradores have their own
27-hole golf courses which offer a 50% discount on green fees for
Parador guests. These are at MALAGA GOLF - a few kilometres from Malaga
Airport, and at EL SALER, on the coast south of Valencia.
